Take back from Wall Street

Two years ago I lost all of my home equity to the housing price collapse. Who got bailed out? The banks. Sweet.
Then my home, which is now worth less than I owe on it is getting even more expensive to live in. Property taxes, a water project, rising insurance costs, etc have forced me to look into home refinancing.

Now these banks, which got away with all the money, dare to charge 2-4K for refinancing and then demand you have the equity which dissappeared into Wall St.

I remember last year (or was it the year before?) when there was a big movement to move your money out of the big banks. Well, I have one better. Move your money out of Wall Street.

The current Congress inc. would love to give Wall Street not only the pensions and homes it already stole, but our Social Security and Medicare as well. I say no way. Starve this beast that is called Wall St. I say we take it down and take every penny out of it, put it into CD's in local banks, or even under your mattress. If the Democrats did not make them pay for their crimes, you can be twice as sure the Republicans will not. Heck, they will reward them. The only thing that can be done is the people taking their money out and leaving them as drained as our bank accounts and pensions and home equities are.

Since there is no way to elect an uncorrupt government the people must take steps on their own. Draining Wall St would be a good start toward social justice

The morning after

Today I am truly in a daze. Everyone expected Republicans to win, but my state was hit hard. There is truly nobody in this state that represents me now. I feel like I have moved into the deep south.
I can only hope the survivors in the Senate do what I hated the Republicans for doing-filibuster and obstruct. Not because I think bringing the country to a complete halt is a good idea, but their agenda is too extreme-killing education, social security, medicare all so the wars can continue and the rich can continue to pay no taxes.
So what is the future for my children who receive a public education? Property taxed will have to soar, so we may even not have a place to live.
I sincerely think about moving to Canada.
They ousted Russ Feingold! One of the good guys, one who wanted to reform campaign finance. That is probably why they are his target.
Welcome to the Corporate states of America, where the legislative process is bought by the highest bidder. Where corporate profits trump people keeping their jobs and homes.
I lived through eight years of Bush, and I fear these next two years are going to be worse because the right has become even more extreme, violent even.
God/Goddess bless us all and protect the middle class so we may live through these next two years without losing more homes and jobs.
